Well deserved and expected after his performance. Yes, his knee looks good. But his top end speed isn't fully back yet. That much is obvious to me.

Maybe, but it could also just be his endurance. He had a TON of carries, especially in respect to what he had been used to before the injury. Even if his speed isn't quite where it was, he's not too far away._________________

His speed isn't what concerns me at all. It was that burst that he uses to explode into open lanes and turn 2-3 yard gains into 8-10 yard gains. As long as he has that burst he will continuously be an elite back in this league._________________

Well, Cassel is going to have a live interview tomorrow morning on NFL Network...just embarassing that he is the face of our team. It doesn't have to be Charles, but can they not ask somebody else...DJ,Berry, even Succop would be a better representation of our success.

I can imagine nothing but awkward conversation interviewing Cassel, considering how bad he was/has been and either he'll have to defend himself or praise the Saints defense against him or change the subject to how good his teammates were. Or maybe they don't ask him about his play, but then why have him on at all?_________________

Your Denver hatred is borderline pathological. I don't think my girlfriend cheating on me would cause me as much hate as you have for Denver.

Someone mentioned that his comment on the interception against New Orleans was "The defender made a good play" or something to that affect. I think the guy knows he isn't very good and he knows his teammates know he isn't very good. He tries really hard and I have to give him credit for that but it is pretty awkward - he just doesn't seem to fit well with his teammates._________________

that was Rage. It was in his postgame press conference after the NO game. It's so bad it's worth checking out._________________
